Oak Hill Homes Association president Ryan Wineinger called the meeting to order. Ryan asked if all homeowners in attendance read and approved the minutes from last year’s annual meeting. John Misiewicz made the motion to approve the minutes. Emily Vanarsdale seconded the motion. The minutes were approved as written.

Thirty-one homeowners attended representing 28 households out of the 310 in the subdivision.

Ryan introduced the officers and directors in attendance. Ryan noted there were open board positions and committee chair positions that need to be filled.

Power Point slides of 2011 activity and plans of 2012 were used for discussion of issues; these included:

Pool Committee – Ryan Wineinger

Issues that were addressed in 2011

– Pinnacle Pools did a good job with managing the pool. We plan to use them in 2012.
– Wristbands and pool checkers worked well. We plan to use them in 2012.
– The pool decking was repaired.
– We replaced pool pumps.
– We repaired electrical and lighting problems

For 2012, we plan to do the following:

– Repair pavers around the pool deck.
– The baby pool looks discolored, but it is clean. It needs to be replastered. The cost to repair it is very expensive.
The board has decided to wait – to repair the baby pool until we have to repair the large pool.
– The restrooms will be painted.
– We will get new signs for “No Trespassing”, Pool Hours and Rules.

Someone asked if we have looked at the asphalt in the parking lot. Ryan said that we have not, but will inspect it this spring and make repairs if needed.

83rd Street Speed Study
Residents who live on 83rd Street were concerned that the speed limit was changed from 25 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour. A group of residents would like the Oak Hill Board Members to go to the city about the study. The board made a decision not to contact the city. The board will support the residents if they wanted to form a committee. Ryan contactedAmy Slater with the Lenexa City Council. She told Ryan that the City of Lenexa did a speed study from 83rd Street from Lackman to Pflumm on10-26-11. Amy said if we desire to formally express a position in venue, anyone is welcome to come voice their position at the City Council meeting the 1st or 3 Tuesday of the month when there is Business from the floor.
